PUBLIC FEARFUL IN CASE OF STRIKE Would Be the Big Losers—Interest of Public Must Be First Considered. PAPERS OF EAST STATE CASE The newspapers of the east, in com mon with the newspapers of the west and south, are almost unanimous in the declaration that in settling the threatened railroad strike the inter ests of the public must be the first consideration Here is what they say “The party most concerned in this issue is the public, for whose conven ience the railroads exist.”—Boston Record “As every man, woman and child would be inconvenienced by a strike, all should do a little thinking.” jellaire (O.) Democrat A universal railway strike would cause unthinkable hardship,”—New Republic, New York City. “What would happen in the event of a railroad llride would be beyond estimation.” ber Trade Journal, New York Lum “The eight-hour' and expression | ‘ten-hour,” in the railroad train serv ice are technicalities referring solely to the ‘basis’ of wages.”—Providence (K. 1) Bulletin, “There is more than an even pros pect that sudden st ation of dustry and bitter suffering are right ahead of us."~Detroit Free Press, “In the present instance many of the most influential labor have announced their intention to make a finish fight,"—Bayonne (N, *).) Times, “If the public favors wage increases the public must get ready to pay un- complainly.”—Lowell (Mass.) Sun “Such a devastating thing as the threatened strike must not and can not be permitted."—New York “The public pays for it all in the end, whether it is in the form of higher rates or of deterioration in the | iqrrwrf "—-New York Commercial “With a commis down there authority to check demands for higher and higher, and still higher wages.” Buffalo Enquirer, [ “Compulsion should not be neces- sary if a wage increase is descrved and it should not be employed to secure an undeserved increasc.”- | The Annalist, New York City, organized rail- decency and “This attitude of and ominos New is significant - “The average pay of all men in train crews is about $1,250 a year, Men who receive such pay are not ob- jects of charity."—New York Com- mercial “The movement of building up a labor aristocracy at the expense of dis- | leaders | on having au- | | groups has progressed | t has become top | dustries New other economic | to the nt where heavy."—American Ir York Cit An eight-hour day is not asked or wanted by the trainmen."—Buffalc Courier “The question is not one of shorter hours, That plea is hypocritical."- New York Journal of Commerce. The railroads would be ‘between the devil and the deep sea’—every thing going out, with not enough coming in to meet the extra demand,” Williamsport (Pa.) Bulletin | “The engineers and conductors have been the big pigs at the trough | =but they have the audacity to ask for a 25 per cent increase.”"—Journal TI'ribune, Williamsburg, Pa “The public has at least $33,379, 080,772 at risk on the solvency of the | railroads.”-—~New York Sun, The conclusion is as irresitible from a reading of the eastern newspapers, as from a reading of the southern and western newspapers-—the public | will not stand for a railroad strike | —Advertisement France Sends Fifty Tons of War Relics | toNew York Bazaar [ New York, May 22-~The unusual | sight of a foreign steamship coming into port with its decks loaded with [boxes and cases containing aero "phm-!, hydro-aeroplanes, cannon and | other war appliances was witnessed here today with the arrival of the | French steamship Lafayette | | from Bordeaux The war | ship's manifests as weighing fifty tons and having a value of $200,000, belonging to the French government, and the greater part of it booty cap tured from the Germans.
